So my RA just tried to discuss with me the moral justification of American treatment of Iraqi prisoners at Abu-Ghraib... and then tried to tell me why the Geneva Convention should be interpreted "figuratively"... he then went on to say that Japanese Internment camps were a "fine idea" and proceeded to argue Fukayama in favor of such a view. Sometimes ignorance gets frustrating... and when ignorant people yell their opinion at me while I begin my sentence (no joke, the verb never got a chance)... it is just intolerable. This is the reason the planet hates America.

A final quote from this misguided soul: "20-65% of all arab immigrants to this country are either terrorists or will be terrorists very soon. Why else would they come here?"

Anyone remember lawn darts? Much to my dismay I have learned that there was a way to play this game that was distinctly different than the way my mother had taught my friends and I. Apparently lawn darts was played by throwing those things in to a hoop like horseshoes... not throwing those things in to a hoop while attempting NOT to hit your friend who is standing in the hoop at the same time. Thanks for volunteering me mom... I am so friggin lucky to be alive.

What I am essentially trying to say by this is that my blog is up and running in what is going to be its final form for the forseeable future. Enjoy.
